hoped every gentleman who had voted Eyes
would vote against reconsideration.
Mr.. Lyons of Vinslhsven said that this
vote confirmed what he had said all along
that no ten hour legislation was intended by
great many gentlemen in this House. This
amendment virtually killed the bill. The
question was, if we could have law for men,

Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who has used
Boschee's German Syrup to let its wonderful
qualities be known to their friends in curing
Consumption, severe Coughs, Group, Asth-
ma, Pneumonia and in fact all throat and
lung diseases. No person can use it without
immediate relief. Three doses will relieve
any case, and we consider it the duty OF all
druggists to recommend it to the poor, dying
consumptive, at least to try one bottle, as
1000 dozen bottles were sold last year, and
no one case where it failed was reported.
Such medicine as the German Syrup cannot
be too widely known. Ask your druggist
about it. Sample bottles to try. sold at 10
cents. Regular size, rs cents. Sold by all
druggists and dealers, in the United States
and Canada. ian 3ld&wchwkv

W. ID. Suit, Druggist, Bippus, Ind, testi-

the very best remedy. Every bottle sold has
given relief in every case. One man took six
bottles, and was cured of rheumatism of 10
years standing" Abraham Hare, druggist,
Bellvlle, Ohio, affirms: The best selling
medicine have ever handled in my 20 years
experience, is Electric Bitters." Thousands
of others have added their testimony, so that
the verdict is unanimous that Electric Bitters
do cure all diseases of the Liver, Kidneys OF
Blood. Only half dollar bottle at De-

The Ten Hour Bill.

We hope the republican members OF the
legislature will not forget that the party
by the unanimous declaration OF its State
Convention and by the letter of acceptance
of its gubernatorial candidate, stands
pledged to ten-hour law. To refuse
now to enact such law would be regard
ed as breach of faith.
The ten hour law has always been un-
derstood to include "women and chill
dren." Good faith peremptorily requires
that both be included in any law that shall
now be passed.
We do not discuss details, but we beg
that republican members of the legislature
will not in their differences on minor
points neglect the main thing which is
demanded OF the republican party by all
the laws of honor and fair dealing.
The severity of the earthquake shocks
which have occurred in the Riviera ap-
pears to have been far greater than the
first reports indicated. A loss of life is
now alleged which it is to be hoped has
but partial foundation in fact. At such
times rumor magnifies every casualty and
panic fear lends additional! grimness to
tales of disaster which circulate. Never
theless it cannot be expected that the
shocks have passed without nflicting at
least little of the destruction alleged.
and even that would be considerable
enough to make this disaster one OF the
most serious Europe has suffered for many
years. The earthquake occurred in a
region filled at this season with invallds
from all parts of the world, and thlckly
sprinkled with pleasure-seekers. The
latter may perhaps be well able to with
stand the fright and excitement, but OF
the former it must be feared that many
among the feeble will be injured more or
less seriously. That the shocks we're
really violent. far beyond common expert
ence,is proved by the destruction of build
ings. In Italy masonry work as rule
is Solid and it would take very strong
and sustained vibrations to produce the
